Comment (by deryni):
It sounds likely that your self compiled version of pidgin is still using
the system libpurple library and not your self compiled libpurple, which
would mean that the release notification plugin (which gets the version
from the core) will be getting a different version than the About dialog
lists (because it lists the UI version). This sounds rather like a bug in
the release notification plugin to me as it quite likely should be
checking the UI version and not the library version (though perhaps we
need to check both).
